The Last Days on Mars (2013)
The Last Days on Mars (2013)
My overall enjoyment of the movie was pretty decent, its nothing something I'd watch numerous times, but it was alright for a one time view.
The acting was pretty good, as were the sets, makeup etc. They also captured the tension in making on the go/tough decisions quite well.
The downside, for me personally to the movie, was that it quickly turned into a 'zombieish' kind of movie: Infected trying to infect non-infected, non-infected trying to survive. Now I like the occasional zombie movie, but I've only read the brief description on IMDb before watching,and I personally expected something different, something a bit more original. There was no real 'reason' the whole movie is based on Mars. You could replace Mars with an island, the infected with zombies, the bacteria with, well, a bacteria and the rescue pod with a rescue ship for example, and basically have the same movie.
All in all, if you're like me, and enjoy watching some low budget sci-fi, this is a movie I'd give a try.
